[05:53] <nigelb> akgraner: yes :)
[05:53] <akgraner> so you know how I've been trying to figure out ways to improve the newsletter
[05:54] <nigelb> Yeah :)
[05:54] <akgraner> people want to be able to just click on links to the sections they want
[05:54] <akgraner> so I was thinking of setting up pages for each section and using includes on the main UWN Issue page
[05:55] <akgraner> I think it will be a PITA to set up - but once it's set up it should be good
[05:55] <nigelb> That would help solve the "Hey, I'm in the wiki, can you wait?" issues
[05:55] <akgraner> nods
[05:55] <akgraner> and give us individual links to each section
[05:55] <nigelb> but might want to run in past nhandler since I'm not sure how the scripts would parse it
[05:56] <akgraner> what scripts?
[05:56] <nigelb> the one that converts from wiki to forum formatting
[05:56] <akgraner> OH that one - no biggie I can put the pieces together and just runt the script
[05:57] <akgraner> run even
[05:57] <akgraner> you have to take raw wiki data
[05:57] <nigelb> in that case, I think its a very good idea
[05:57] <nigelb> but raw data will only have Include foo/foo
[05:57] <nigelb> not the next
[05:58] <nigelb> Since I can't read perl, I dunno how that works :(
[05:58] <akgraner> put it into a text editor, strip out all the `` and  stuff then save it as uwnissuenumberin.txt
[05:58] <akgraner> right but if I just grab the raw text - copy and paste  - once it's all good to go it can't take that much time
[05:58] <nigelb> Ah!
[05:59] <akgraner> but we won't know til we try
[05:59] <nigelb> Exactly
[05:59] <nigelb> We could set things up without touching the main issue
[05:59] <akgraner> nods
[05:59] <nigelb> Just to see how it works
[05:59] <akgraner> I was just brainstorming
[05:59] <akgraner> plus this gives me/us a way to add links to the Fridge version
[06:00] <akgraner> people asked me to find away that the fridge can link to the various sections rather than taking them to the whole wiki
[06:00] <nigelb> You can still link
[06:00] <nigelb> the headers are all anchors
[06:00] <akgraner> I know but they don't want to see the whole thing
[06:01] <nigelb> AH, that use case
[06:01] <akgraner> nods
[06:01] <akgraner> so I am trying to think of ways that kill 2 birds with one stone
[06:04] <akgraner> make sense?
[06:07] <nigelb> Yep
[06:08] <nhandler> akgraner: The biggest issue would be having to create the various wiki pages for each section every week and update links that point to them
[06:08] <akgraner> so I guess we can set something up in a sandbox and test it
[06:08] <akgraner> yeah - I can just add them to the check list :-)
[06:08] <nhandler> akgraner: The team-report script could probably be modified to merge all of the Included wiki pages into one page for the forum script to parse
[06:09] <akgraner> nhandler, really - that would so rock
[06:09] <akgraner> nhandler, and nigelb if I set up a sandbox with what I am thinking would you all have time to play around with it next week
[06:09] <nhandler> akgraner: Most of the code is already there. If you decide to go ahead with the Includes, poke me when you have the pages setup and I can give it a try
[06:10] <akgraner> gotta run Pete just walked in the door :-)
[06:10] <nigelb> See, this is what I like about nhandler, think about him and he's here :D
[06:10] <nigelb> (yeah, highlighing help :p)
[06:10] <akgraner> be back tomorrow sometime - thanks guys!
[06:10] <nigelb> ciao, g'nite :)
[06:12] <nhandler> nigelb: Well, I literally just got home (late movie)
[06:13] <nigelb> 1 am; wow
[06:14] <nhandler> nigelb: 12:15 am (UTC-5 for now)
[06:14] <nigelb> nhandler: wait, you're not on east coast?
[06:14] <nhandler> nigelb: Nope. Central (Chicago)
[06:15] <nigelb> ahhh, Chicago.  Right.
[16:47] <akgraner> Hey all I added stuff to the etherpad.  If I added something to your section and you look over it or if it's just a title and link can you write a quick blurb to it..
[17:36] <highvoltage> akgraner: sorry for asking you this every time, where's the etherpad again?
[17:36] <nigelb> highvoltage: pad.ubuntu-uk.org/UWN :)
[17:37] <nigelb> (I really hope you have to copy paste that as punishment of not remembering :p)
[19:23] <akgraner> highvoltage, no worries but all the links can be found at wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter
[19:23] <akgraner> :-)
[19:25] <akgraner> hey johnc4510
[19:25] <johnc4510> hey there
[19:25] <akgraner> did you get my email about the ubuntunews twitter feed
[19:25] <akgraner> no one knows who set it up :-/
[19:25] <johnc4510> i did but haven't connected to it yet
[19:26] <johnc4510> how goes things
[19:26] <akgraner> you did get the message or you did as in set it up?
[19:26] <johnc4510> i got the msg
[19:26] <johnc4510> but haven't set it up yet
[19:27] <akgraner> johnc4510, good now - we are back on track, go the new fridge site functional just waiting on the move to fridge.ubuntu.com or the re-direct
[19:27] <akgraner> but we are using ubuntu-news.org for now
[19:27] <johnc4510> cool
[19:27] <akgraner> getting more volunteers to help with various things etc
[19:27] <akgraner> I've missed you
[19:27] <johnc4510> great
[19:27] <johnc4510> missed you too
[19:27] <akgraner> how are things?
[19:28] <johnc4510> pretty good, thx
[19:28] <johnc4510> and your family?
[19:29] <johnc4510> i set up 10.10 on the 11th on all my boxes and it was seamless
[19:29] <johnc4510> upgrade or fresh install both worked great
[19:29] <akgraner> awesome  - I have a book for you
[19:30] <johnc4510> oh great...i'm still fighting server problems
[19:30] <johnc4510> :)
[19:30] <akgraner> well reserved for you - I'll have them send it to you
[19:30] <johnc4510> kk
[19:30] <akgraner> I finally upgraded earlier this week and Maverick is sweet
[19:31] <johnc4510> been so long since i've been here i had to really think how to run my bash script to connect to our remote server LOL
[19:32] <akgraner> family hmmm, crazy teenagers, husband traveling all the time, a dog who takes more allergy meds than carter has liver pills, and me well I'm just me - :-)  How's everything with your family?
[19:33] <johnc4510> pretty fair right now...mom has been doing better the last half of this year...we even took a trip back to Missouri to see family...
[19:33] <akgraner> great!!!
[19:33] <johnc4510> nods
[19:35] <akgraner> hey I'll be "sandboxing" the new wiki pages soon - wanna give your thoughts on those and help?
[19:35] <akgraner> you know I had to ask right
[19:36] <akgraner> people want to be able to get to *only* the sections they want to read not the whole newsletter
[19:36] <johnc4510> sure...just send me an email when you need me here for imput
[19:36] <akgraner> so we are going to be working on that
[19:36] <akgraner> johnc4510, awesome!  you rock
[19:37] <johnc4510> so basically you need to make a single index page or make the headers hot ???
[19:37] <akgraner> yep
[19:37] <johnc4510> kk
[19:38] <akgraner> people don't even want to see the whole thing based on early survey results and emails I am getting
[19:38] <akgraner> so far about 135 people have taken the survey and I've gotten 11 or 12 personal emails going into some painstaking feedback
[19:38] <akgraner> which is good
[19:38] <nhandler> There is a benefit though in getting the whole thing in an email. I can go and search my inbox for some topic and find the UWN that talked about it
[19:39] <akgraner> johnc4510, did you look at ubuntu-news.org yet?
[19:39] <akgraner> nhandler, yep
[19:39] <akgraner> I totally agree
[19:39] <johnc4510> not yet, but i'll check it out now
[19:39] <akgraner> thanks let me know what you think  - we are still tweeking it
[19:40] <akgraner> well I gotta run Pete is only home for a day this week and we a list of stuff that needs to be accomplished around the house before 5am when he leaves again
[19:40] <akgraner> be back tomorrow sometime
[19:40] <nhandler> Bye akgraner
[19:40]  * nigelb hugs akgraner 
[19:40] <akgraner> johnc4510, good seeing you in the channel again!  Welcome back!!! :-)
[19:42] <johnc4510> thx....ubuntu-news.org looks very nice :)
[21:16] <highvoltage> hey johnc4510
